RESOLUTION NO. 2005-29
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROLLING HILLS GRANTING APPROVAL FOR A SITE
PLAN REVIEW FOR GRADING AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN
ADDITION AND A GUEST HOUSE AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT A GUEST HOUSE AT AN EXISTING
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE IN ZONING CASE NO. 712, AT 1
CREST ROAD EAST (LOT 1-FT), (HUH).
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
DOES HEREBY FIND, RESOLVE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. An application was duly filed by Mr. and Mrs. Peter Huh
with respect to real property located at 1 Crest Road East (Lot 1-FT), Rolling
Hills, CA requesting a Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for grading
and construction of a 2,969 square foot addition to an existing single family
residence and garage, and to construct a 744 square foot guest house. A 976
square foot basement, 583 square foot swimming pool, additional 96 square feet
of covered porches and a 450 square foot future stable are also proposed to be
constructed.
Section 2. The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public
hearings to consider the application on July 19, 2005, August 16, 2005 and at a
field trip visit on August 16, 2005. The applicants were notified of the public
hearings in writing by first class mail. Evidence was heard and presented from
all persons interested in affecting said proposal and from members of the City
staff and the Planning Commission having reviewed, analyzed and studied said
proposal. The applicants' representatives were in attendance at the hearings.
Section 3. The Planning Commission finds that the project qualifies as
a Class 3 Exemption (The State of CA Guidelines, Section 15303)and is therefore
categorically exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act.
Section 4. Section 17.46.030 requires a development plan to be
submitted for Site Plan Review and approval before any grading requiring a
grading permit or any building or structure may be constructed or any
expansion, addition, alteration or repair to existing buildings may be made
which involve changes to grading or an increase to the size of the building or
structure by at least 1,000 square feet and has the effect of increasing the size of
the building by more than twenty-five percent (25%) in any thirty-six (36) month
period. With respect to the Site Plan Review application requesting grading and
construction of the addition and the guest house the Planning Commission
makes the following findings of fact:
A. The proposed development is compatible with the General Plan,
the Zoning Ordinance and surrounding uses because the proposed structures
comply with the General Plan requirement of low profile, low -density residential
•
•
05 2829602
development with sufficient open space between surrounding structures. The
project conforms to Zoning Code setbacks and lot coverage requirements. The
grading will consist of 445 cubic yards of cut and 445 cubic yards of fill, of which
398 cubic yards will be generated from the excavation for the basement. The
proposed project is screened from the road so as to reduce the visual impact of
the development. The disturbed area of the lot will be 36.9%, which is within the
40% maximum permitted, and includes the future stable.
B. The development plan substantially preserves the natural and
undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage because the new
structure will not cause the lot to look overdeveloped. Significant portions of the
lot will be left undeveloped so as to maintain open space on the property. The
existing shrubs and trees on the eastern portion on the parcel will remain and
will screen the guest house from the street. The nature, condition, and
development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures and the topography of
the lot have been considered, and the construction of the addition and guest
house will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed structures will be constructed on a
portion of the lot which is least intrusive to surrounding properties, will be
screened and landscaped with trees and shrubs which at maturity will not
exceed the ridge height of the structures, is a sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the proposed structures will not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors, and will substantially utilize the existing building pad
for the new construction.
C. The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale
and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences. As
indicated in Paragraph A, the lot coverage maximum set forth in the Zoning
Code will not be exceeded and the proposed project is consistent with the scale
of the neighborhood.
D. The development plan incorporates existing trees and native
vegetation to the maximum extent feasible. Specifically, the development plan
preserves dense brush and shrubs and supplements it with landscaping that is
compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community.
E. The development plan follows natural contours of the site to
minimize grading and retain the natural drainage courses.
F. The proposed development is sensitive and not detrimental to the
convenience and safety of circulation for pedestrians and vehicles because the
proposed development will utilize the existing double driveway.
G. The project conforms to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and is exempt from CEQA.
Section 5. Based upon the foregoing findings, the Planning
Commission hereby approves the Site Plan Review application for Zoning Case
No. 712 for grading and for construction of an addition and guest house as
•
05 2829602
shown on the Development Plan dated August 15, 2005, and marked Exhibit A,
subject to the conditions contained in Section 8 of this Resolution.
Section 6. Section 17.16.210(A)(5) of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code
permits approval of a guest house under certain conditions, provided the
Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Permit. The applicant is
requesting to construct a 744 square foot guest house. With respect to this request
for a Conditional Use Permit, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
A. The granting of a Conditional Use Permit for the construction of a
guest house would be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the Zoning
Ordinance and General Plan and will be desirable for the public convenience and
welfare because the use is consistent with similar uses in the community, and the
area proposed for the guest house would be located in an area on the property
where such use will not change the existing configuration of structures on the lot.
B. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings,
and structures have been considered, and the construction of a guest house will
not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these adjacent uses,
buildings, or structures because the proposed guest house will be located in an
area to promote pad integration and is of sufficient distance from nearby
residences so that the guest house will not impact the view or privacy of
surrounding neighbors.
C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the
natural terrain, and surrounding residences because the guest house will comply
with the low profile residential development pattern of the community. The
height of the structure will be restricted to one story.
D. The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zone district because the 744 square foot size of the
guest house is less than the maximum permitted under the Municipal Code and
the guest house does not encroach into any setback areas.
E. The proposed conditional use is consistent with the portions of the
Los Angeles County Hazardous Waste Management Plan relating to siting and
siting criteria for hazardous waste facilities because the project site is not listed
on the current State of California Hazardous Waste and Substances Sites List.
F. The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of Title
17 of the Zoning Code because an area for a stable and corral will be retained.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing findings and the evidence in the
record, the Planning Commission hereby approves a Conditional Use Permit for
the construction of a 744 square foot guest house, in accordance with the
development plan dated August 15, 2005, and marked Exhibit A in Zoning Case
No. 712 subject to the conditions contained in Section 8 of this Resolution.
•
05 2829602
Section 8. The Site Plan Review approved in Section 5 and the
Conditional Use Permit approved in Section 7 of this Resolution are subject to
the following conditions:

Municipal Code, or the approval granted is otherwise extended pursuant to the
requirements of those sections.
B. It is declared and made a condition of the approval, that if any
conditions thereof are violated, this approval shall be suspended and the
privileges granted hereunder shall lapse; provided that the applicants have been
given written notice to cease such violation, the opportunity for a hearing has
been provided, and if requested, has been held, and thereafter the applicant fails
to correct the violation within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the
City's determination.
